All three will be awarded $25,000, according to a June 22 news release.

“We see the startup community as an essential partner in advancing innovation,” BCBS of Illinois President Steve Hamman said in the statement. “Working with early-stage entrepreneurs to shape their solutions provides BCBSIL unique inputs into how these companies evolve.”

The program will run through October.

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
